The Easter Bunny doesn’t arrive until Sunday, but we’ve got all kinds of goodies for you in today’s Movie Morsels. Guillermo del Toro gives us the latest on his Justice League Dark, two new cast members are announced for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tomorrowland gets its most revealing trailer yet, Jenna Coleman teams up with several other genre stars for a new romance film, and more!
Justice League Dark
Guillermo del Toro has a few words to say about the current status of his long-in-development Justice League Dark film (also known as Dark Universe), and related DC supernatural universe projects… “We turned in our [script] revision, and it all depends on the calendar, you know?” says the genre auteur. “If I can do it, I would love to do it. And I think that the screenplay and the characters are very solid… You cannot say, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it after I do this,’ or ‘I have the first season of The Strain‘… [It] needs to fall into the plan of the DC Universe.”
Del Toro — whose supernatural period thriller Crimson Peak is out on October 16th — added that if he doesn’t do Justice League Dark, “Somebody will do it.”
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Even more cast members have been announced for Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron — Before Midnight‘s Julie Delpy and Scooby-Doo‘s Linda Cardellini. No word yet on who they’ll play, but could Cardellini turn out to be Captain Marvel? We’ve already heard the good Captain will not appear in the film, but might Marvel introduce her alter ego Carol Danvers in the May 1st release? Fingers crossed!
Meanwhile, film’s third and fourth TV spots have just landed on these here interwebs…
